Tarantula in my garden!!

[Bethsmummy 10]

Honestly the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life.

 

I dare not eve go outside. I've silicone sealed my windows shut.

 

OK it's not black...........or hairy but it's a true gargantuan.

You wuss! It's just a little death's head crab spider ...

 

Watch out though, they go for the throat, and they're like lightning!

You sure about that?

 

It looks like a garden spider to me.

 

They are slow and just tickle a bit if they manage to catch up with you.

Would I lie about something like this, that could be a matter of life or death? *tuts*

Tickle? Tickle? I love a tickle every now & then but I'd rather have my back scratched by a hungry tiger than have a tickle from that beast.

Just a garden spider. We have lots of them.

Looks like a holy cross spider to me.

 

I did go googling for a picture, but i've now creeped myself out.
